[Q] Phone over heating and draining the battery

Hi there,
I bought a Galaxy S3 in the beginning of July and it's been great. Everything running smoothly, no problems whatsoever, excellent battery life. I've been getting 10 hours or more most days - I could not have been happier.
The phone is exactly as I bought it from the shop, with the exception that I'm running Nova launcher instead of the stock launcher.
However, The phone downloaded an update in early August and since then I've been having problems. The phone is running as normal, then, for no apparent reason it gets insanely hot, seriously, I could probably iron a shirt with it if I wanted. This appears to drain the battery completely and the phone shuts down within an hour.
This is only happening since the phone downloaded the latest update, it never happened before that. Yesterday it didn't happen, I got the full day out of my phone, unplugged it at 8am and didn't have to plug it in until near 9pm. But most other days the phone is getting really hot at some stage between 11am and 1pm and the battery is dead within the hour. I haven't installed any new apps since before the last update.
Does anyone have any idea what this might be?? If you need any more information please let me know.
I'm running Android 4.0.4
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Its possible that ota update is not so good at it seems like and when you have running apps in background ( i assume). If i get your post correctly i asume that its ota update that causes your problems (correct me if im wrong) for more help go to s3 forums since this isnt s3 forum but samsung galaxy 3 one

Oh right, S3 again. And I was already wondering how the G3 could heat up that much by it's own components^^
Nevertheless I would recommend whereismydroidpower app.

oops! sorry guys, will repost.
thanks for the advice.

Moto X not built for kit Kat

I've owned a moto x for 1 week now. When I got it, I immediately ignored the kit Kat update, tried using jelly bean for 2 days, I had good to above average battery life.
3rd day, I updated it to kit Kat, my battery life took a big hit!!
Yesterday I received a nexus 5 as a gift, I love it.
I performed an experiment with both phones, I wiped both in recovery (stock, both phones are completely stock) I wiped cache. I then took my SIM out of the moto x. Turned on, only Wi-Fi on both. Then installed the exact same apps on both phones.
Whole time I was doing this I was charging both of them.
One 100% hit both of them I unplugged then at same time and turned screen off, let them sit.
After 6 hrs of sitting, the nexus 5 was at 98% the moto x was at 89%!! That's LOCATION turned off on both. And on the motto x the active screen and hands free control.
I think the nexus is built for kit Kat, most phones have quad core nowadays, I'm thinking that kit Kat just runs better.
The battery life difference is a shocker to me, and fit that reason alone, I'm using the nexus 5 and selling my moto x.
If I could downgrade the moto x, I would for sure, but I need battery life.
EDIT...
I've just redone my test with the same results, I will post pics later.

You must have a bad moto x. I've let mine sit overnight multiple times and after about 8 hours my battery is still 100%. Three email accounts synced, Wi-Fi, location on.

Either that or you have a really good moto x!!! I find it hard to believe after 8 hrs still at 100%!!
I understand this is a moto x thread and people will defend their phones, I think there is a lot of people experiencing this after updating to kit Kat.

Find out, in about phone, if dev option is on. Tap many times on build # to enable. Then be sure both phones are set to ART runtime!! You will need lots of time & battery.I think the x will do much better then.

No, I think you should get that checked out. I've yet to have mine die on me in less than a day with normal use. Usually is only at 40-50% when I go to bed, and uses almost no battery while idling overnight, I'm guessing due to the architecture. I'm not saying the moto is better than the nexus, just a shame to hear you're having a bad experience with yours. Good luck with it!

Screen shots from gsam would help see what's happening.
But, I had phenomenal battery life on my x.....til my wife got it. Lol avid facebook user....she lost a good chunk of battery life from it alone. Cause its still setup exactly how I had it....but she's always on facebook (pics constantly loading) and she uses the "phone" way more...another drain.
However.....standby time for me never got much lower that 1 percent per hour. My n5....0.4 per hour. I assume active and touchless must keep the x standby drop higher, or radio maybe? Something anyway. I stopped worrying, since overall the x got great battery life. ?
Sent from my N5, N7, Moto X, G Tab 3 or S2.....

I took the KitKat update the day I got my phone on 3/7/2014 and the battery life is better than my old Nexus. I put the phone on charge at 1600 take it off around 2000 when I wake up at 600 and the phone is at 97%. By the time I get home from work at 1500 it's down to 60%. It'll go 24 hours on one charge easy but I charge it every 12, or so. Some days I'm on it all the time.
Then again, I do have an unlocked boot loader, I'm rooted and I've got Greenify hibernating most of the apps I don't constantly use.

With everything on, GPS,location, ect and on WiFi all Verizon bloat removed. At three months on kitkat I drop 3-4% average at ten hours off charge. Once I got 1% drop over 8 hours and another 2% also at 8 hours. So not knowing if your nexus is new but the more the X settle in the better it gets.

I had another Moto X that didn't keep the chrge well. It would drop about 5% in hour after unplugging. So it happens. I didn't take into account about your stock. I have all the verizon crap removed and some unwanted moto apps. Very debloated on my set up.

I have found the solution for power management wakelocks on Kitkat. Many of you might be seeing that Wakelock detector shows phone is staying awake for 40-50% of the times since kitkat update.
Most of these wakelocks are thanks to Power manager service and pm8921_chg wakelocks. After removing the phone from charger these wakelocks causes phone to stay awake when it shouldnt.
I think I have found a solution.
When your battery is 100% switch off the phone. Remove the charger. Let it go to blank screen and then power it back on. Now when phone boots without charger connected to it, use it normall and you will see the wakelocks are no longer keeping phone on for 40-50% of the time. It is back to normal 10-11% or lower depending on use and phone gives great battery life.
I am yet to do lot of testing or reading on this, but this is just an observation. Worth giving it a try.

I get high calenderbackupstorage wake up triggers. Almost 400 to 500
I had this problem in my other phone too.
I have turned off sync , but still the problem persists.
Freezing the app also does not help

If you are having the same issues on 2 phones, then it must be one of the apps that you have on your phone. Use AppOps to see which apps are using calender and turn off them if not needed.

What is this "phone" thing you speak of? Some kind of special app or some hidden feature built into the X? I'm not familiar with this concept.

I had my first Moto x run 4.2.2 and battery life sucked. upgraded to Kit Kit and everything was awesome like everyone mentioned.
My 2nd Moto X and it had great battery on both 4.2.2 and 4.4. I've had 3 and all had weird issues. I do think Moto X has some quality control issues. I've closely examined the phones and there were little inconsistencies between the 3. Going to a Tmobile store even confirmed they are using really old outdated SIM cards.
All 3 of mine had Loss of signal bug and MMS bug. no matter what I did.
Some people have no issues at all don't know what to make of it.

Battery drain?

So I have verizon version.
I went to bed with 80% on my HTC 10
And 60% on my S7e also verizon version.
I woke up with 63% on HTC 10 and 59% on S7e. Both phone had 30% of android system but for some reason HTC leaked battery.
Idk what is reason for this, fingerprint sensor? Double tap woke up sensor?
Everything from notification panel was turned off

The S7edge has amazing battery for me. Have you updated the S7 edge from the VZW update from last week? It has reduced android system drain.

The new update for the 10 should fix a bunch of issues, not sure when Verizon will release it but the it should be out for the USA unlocked model soon.

Did you root or s-off or anything else? Did you uninstall or disable some apps? I had this problem a few times with my HTC M8... Turns out almost always reason was I disabled or uninstalled some apk which gave phone wakelocks... I had 20+% drain through the night and after I fixed it I had 1% per night (8 hours)... So if you have anything changed, flash stock rom and dont delete anything just wipe dalvik cache and cache.. if problem persist you can try factory reset...
Attached pictures you see what looks like when you have wakelocks and how it should be when phone is in deep sleep... No "Awake" when screen is OFF:

I have a completely stock VZW 10 and I lost 15% over night. I've noticed apps will show in usage that I have never opened, mostly Verizon's junk though.

My unlocked version sleeps like a baby. Might be some Verizon apps draining your batteries. I lose about 3% overnight (about 8 hours)

My battery life is not great so far. 2.5h SOT in 7 hours, down to 40%. What happened to the 2 day battery life promised haha.

Did you fully charge the phone before turning it on? As stated here http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-10/howto/720800.html
"Before you turn on and start using HTC 10, it is recommended that you charge the battery."

Its probably WiFi drain. Firmware 1.30 should fix it.

I certainly didn't do that, but my battery is pretty good so far

This is one of the reasons why I'm scared to turn in my S7E for the HTC10. The S7E just lasts for ever on a charge. Right now I'm getting close to 8 hours SOT with over a days usage and thats with gaming mixed in.
I just don't want to risk only getting half that with the HTC10

HTC 10 will probably never do that. S7E has 3600 mAh battery. 10 is only 3000. I'm very happy with the battery of the 10, but I'm coming from the M9 which has rather poor battery life.

Wi-Fi drain? I'm on 1.21.617.3 and only lose 3-4% overnight (about .5%/hr) with Wi-Fi, bluetooth, NFC all on. There is nothing wrong with the stock build as far as battery drain. I also have not modified any Google backups or apps as far as syncing and backups go.

They originally said by then end of the last week but that did not happen, I hope soon though. You will get the updated directly from HTC, not AT&T. I had the unlocked M9 on AT&T and got the Marshmallow update in December from HTC. They still have not released it on AT&T.

I'm also having battery drain. I got the phone Monday and that night I lost about 35% overnight. I fell asleep listening to music over bluetooth so I thought maybe that was it. Then Tuesday night I charged it fully before bed. I took it off the charger at 100%, turned the screen off, set it down and went to bed. Woke up about 9 hours later and it was at 59%.
Android system was the claimed highest user, but it said it was only awake for 14minutes. The top 3 listed apps were Android system, Google Play Services, and Phone idle.

I lost 1% over 5 hours in extremepower mode

Maybe the same tricks that worked on the S7E will work on the 10.
You guy's should try turning off all usage statistic reporting to Google and HTC.
Also check in the developer options to see if any bloatware processes are constantly running. If you find one then just disable it's package.

My phone updated to G930AUCU4BQF3 on July 10. Battery is <10% by 4pm. Previously, I'd still have 20% left when I plugged it in it's usual overnight charge at 11 pm. I also have apps launching on their own while the phone is not being used. Clear all running apps, set the phone down, come back a half hour later and 3-4 apps are active. A podcast launched itself and began playing in the middle of a seminar yesterday. I've not launched that player since before the update.

Yep know how you feel. Mine also is lower by the end of day than before this Security Update.

Since the update, I've noticed that my phone feels like a toaster oven when I'm on data.

This update for me seems to have undone the good battery time I had been getting. Fast charging seems wonky as well.

Replaced the battery on the Tab Pro 8.4

It took less than 10 minutes to actually replace the battery in this thing. It took me 4 times longer to replace the battery in my Moto 360.
So far it's charging much faster than my old original battery. I have had my Tab Pro 8.4 since it came out. I got the replacement battery from Amazon.
I used a couple of youtube videos to get an idea of what to do and the replacement battery came with more tools than I actually even needed.
I'll update in 2 weeks about how my experience has been with it.

Yes please would really appreciate a detailed feedback and guide on if you still think it's worse it. I love this tablet. Perhaps a suggestion for the currently most efficient rom (batterylife/performance). Looking forward to hearing from you!

The ROM I'm using is Resurrection Remix Nougat 7.1.1_r25-NOF27B RR-N-v5.8.2-20170401-mondrianwifi-Unofficial
After fully charging to 100% yesterday I took the Tab Pro 8.4 to my cigar shop and used it for a full cigar smoke, used it later that evening at home for about 30 minutes, left it on the table overnight w/ wifi on, and now I'm at work with it and it's at a 30% charge. I have to say I haven't had this much life out of it since the 1st year I had this. Granted this is just over 14 hours of on time since the full charge so the performance will definitely change over the next 2 weeks of use but this is a great sign so far.
The Battery I got from Amazon was this:
ANTIEE T4800E New Laptop Battery Replacement For Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4" Tablet PC Notebook SM-T325 T320 T321 T4800C T4800K 4800mAh 3.7V
$15

Sounds good, will give it go! Thank you

I've had my tablet a little bit after it came out so the battery isn't holding up as much anymore but it's still working (yes I've reset my battery many times). Looking forward to your update or if anyone else has any other source for good replacement batteries, we would like to hear it.
Thanks
David C.

I just also replaced my battery with a highend battery same hz (4800) im not sure of its the lineage OS rom I'm running but I don't seem to see something to write home about unfortunatey...
There isn't even an option to fast charge this tablet with this rom *when the stock rom would chrage it in less than an hour and hold its charge) where as i spend a good 8 hour charge to get to near 1oo%and even when its still plugged in, it will go down in a matter of 2 hours.
any idease? maybe back to stock?

Are you using the Wifi or LTE version? I'm searching for another ROM instead of the lineageOS 13.0 currently running on my battery dead Tab Pro 8.4 LTE (SM-T325) which I will be replacing the battery myself soon.

So far it's charging much faster than my old original battery. I have had my Tab Pro 8.4 since it came out. I got the replacement battery from Amazon.
I used a couple of youtube videos to get an idea of what to do and the replacement battery came with more tools than I actually even needed.
I'll update in 2 weeks about how my experience has been with it.

So what's the verdict on the amazon replacement battery? Does it hold charge as good or as near the original?
Thanks

It was a solid replacement and well worth the very short amount of time it took to do. It feels like a new device all over again. Lately I have just been trying different roms now since the stock experience hasn't been updated in years.

That's great, thank you for the info but was wanting some clarification on the battery you purchased from amazon, are you getting the original 11 hours of SOT or more like 4 SOT like the cheep china batteries. Thank you :good:
PS: first post so sorry if i replied wrong....

Same here. Original owner of a Tab8.4 since the month it launched, old battery swole, recently replaced. Easy peasy!

Well that was in November and my replacement battery is still go strong. Glad I did it!

I replaced mine with the same model from Amazon in March, everything is working great. It took about 10 minutes start to finish, tablet is still working like new.
Totally worth the $15.

After running into many problems including the battery on resurrection remix, I switched to lineage. The battery problems got worse there. I decided it was time to do this. Only a couple days in and the difference on lineage is night and day. Should have done this sooner.
